7.1.5 Simulation Functions
This function simulates the behavior of the sensor regardless of the current status and measured value. This
can be used to check whether a plant in which the sensor is integrated reacts correctly to the data supplied
by the sensor and processes them accordingly.
If a measured value is specified, the sensor behaves as if the specified measured value corresponds to the
actual measured value. This means that the behavior of the outputs and status messages is simulated
according to the specified measured value.
In addition, the individual outputs and status messages can be simulated separately from the measured
value.
